A woman who threw a tablet computer at her boyfriend's head Wednesday was arrested by Oakland County Sheriff's deputies in Rochester Hills.

Authorities say the woman, 37, became irate and threw her Samsung Tablet after learning of posts her 37-year-old boyfriend made to an ex-girlfriend on Facebook. The computer struck the man in the face and gave him a black eye.

The tablet was taken as evidence.

The incident began after the Rochester Hills man came home from a night out at a bar. His girlfriend called sheriff's deputies and told dispatchers that she wanted her live-in boyfriend removed from the home. Before the dispatcher had a chance to ask follow-up questions, the woman hung up, according to a Wednesday media release.

After investigating further, deputies discovered that the woman had assaulted her boyfriend after learning about the Facebook posts. The tablet she had read the posts on was hurled at the boyfriend's head, injuring his eye.

The woman was arrested for felonious assault and was taken to the Oakland County jail.
